Disinfection process in water treatment plants (WTPs) is one of the most important step in order to inactivate waterborne disease. However, what is the necessary disinfection in WTPs was not properly established in Korea. This study was conducted to evaluate disinfection performance in nationwide water treatment plants (n=474). Disinfection requirement based on the SWTR (Surface Water Treatment Rule) of the U.S. (1-log Giardia removal) was chosen in estimating the compliance. The scope of unit process for evaluating disinfection performance includes postdisinfection process in clearwells, pipeline, and storage tank. The worst water quality condition in individual WTPs was applied for the disinfection performance evaluation. The major results are as follows. First, it was appeared that 184 WTPs (39 %) provided insufficient disinfection performance. Disinfection performance was significantly improved during past 2 years. The ratio of the number of WTPs providing insufficient disinfection performance in 1999 and 2001 was 78 % and 41 %, respectively. One of major factors for this improvement was due to the improvement of $T_{10}/T$ value in clearwell, as a result of modification of clearwell facility. Second, if disinfection criteria is 3-log Giardia inactivation at worst water quality condition, then 19 % of all WTPs can not meet this disinfection criteria. And if disinfection criteria is strengthened to 4-log Giardia inactivation, then 58 % of all WTPs can not meet this disinfection criteria. Since disinfection criteria is decided by contamination level of Giardia in source water, it also needs the investigation of Giardia occurrence in source water.

The series of experiments under the various conditions were carried out to evaluate the feasibility of dissolved air flotation (DAF) as an alternative of conventional gravity sedimentation (CGS) and to investigate the decrease of the loadings following to biological wastewater treatment processes in livestock wastewater system. On the basis of the experiment result between CGS and DAF processes, for the other water quality criteria as well as suspended solid the removal efficiency of DAF process was about 20~25 % better than CGS process on average. In addition, the particle removal efficiency of DAF process became higher in proportion as the increase of air to solid (A/S) ratio and the general wastewater treatment efficiency of DAF process was enough to meet the requirement of loading decrease to following biological process even at low A/S ratio range. Though DAF process is widely known as an solid separation unit, there was not the notable relationship between particle separation efficiency and several pollutant removal efficiencies like $COD_{Cr}$ and nutrients (T-N, T-P). Assume that the $COD_{Cr}$ was removed as the fraction of particle separation in this experiment, the removal efficiency of T-N and T-P were sensitive to removal efficiency of $COD_{Cr}$, especially.

This is an experimental study to raise higher efficiency of filteration than conve ntional filteration by increasing of filteration capacity for per unit area and by extending of filteration lasting time with biflow filter system which was improved from the conventional rapid sand filteration method in the process of water purification treatment. In order to raise more efficient function of filteration and giving consideration to the filter layer at upper and lower parts of the filter, the fine sand & an thracite were used as a filter medium. Although there is some difficulty than previous fine sand in procurement, it could confirm that such filter medium (fine sand & anthracite) was more effective in the field of load, lasting time and back wash, etc. In consideration of practical effect of filteration. The raw water which was used for this experimental study was not coagulated. As a result of this experiment, the filteration volume could increase more than 2 times than that of conventional method. Besides, much more advantages could be obtained for instance, the requirement of installation area was not much and installation cost could economize. On the other hand, the following results were found. The quality of filtered water became worse as time goes by and the turbidity of filtered water was more influenced by raw water turbidity than by rate of filteration. Lasting time of filteration on change of filteration rate in the filter layer reached 2 times in comparison with previous filter basin, and until loss gead reached to 1.0 meter and 1.5 meter, the following relate formulas between lasting time and rate of filteration were formed. ($T_{1.5}=181.96V^{-0.46},\;T_{1.0}=121.31V^{-0.46}$) Even though the lasting time can be shorten in case of the increase of the filteration rate, but the lasting time was prolonged more than 2 times than of previous method. With taking aim at contribution to the development of water treatment technique, we are planning to study continuously for the future study basing on the results in this papers.

Sand filter is a key unit process for particle removal in water purification treatments. Its long-standing use is due to on-site customized retrofit. Proper selection of filter media is one of the retrofit approaches to improve filter performance. This study described a series of controlled laboratory column tests and examined the effects of media property on filtration and backwash. When sand media of 0.51 mm in effective size was replaced by sand of 0.60 mm, the filter run increased up to 5 times in the given bed depth. The change of media property required an increase of backwash rate by 0.05 m/min to satisfy the requirement of bed expansion, more than 20%. When the anthracite was changed with lower effective size and uniformity coefficient, correlation with sand in the filter bed could be satisfied within the permissible error between media and bulk characteristics. Besides, this selection resulted in a well-stratified configuration of media layers after bed expansion. The column study showed that the correlation of property between the dual media had a significant effect on the filter productivity and backwash interval.

일반적으로 유역의 대표단위도 산정에는 적용의 간편성을 이유로 수평직선분리법을 주로 사용하여 왔으며 이를 단기호우사상에 대한 모의에 적용해 왔다. 그러나 수평직선분리법에 의한 기저유량의 산출은 연구자의 주관성이 반영될 수 있는 가능성이 다분하며 총유출에 대한 기저유출의 기여가 상대적으로 크게 되는 장기유출모의에 대해서는 그 신뢰도가 떨어진다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 장기유출모의에서는 신뢰성있는 기저유출분리를 통한 합리적인 대표단위도를 유도하는 것이 필요하다. 또한 이 같은 문제점을 개선하기 위해 본 연구에서는 USGS(U.S GEOLOGICAL SURVEY)에서 개발한 기저유출분리 프로그램인 PART(stream flow Partitioning)를 이용하여 기저유출을 분리하고 Nash 모형을 이용하여 유역의 대표단위도를 유도했으며 검증을 위해 강우-유출 모형인 HEC-HMS에 유도된 대표단위도와 합성단위도를 적용하여 실제유출량에 대한 통계분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 Nash모형의 매개변수를 n은 6.4, K는 0.33으로 산정할 수 있었고, PART에 의해 기저유출을 분리하여 유도된 단위도가 수평직선분리법에 의해 유도된 대표단위도 보다 장기유출모의에서 더 우수한 결과를 보였다. 또한 실측유출량과 모의유출량의 첨두값에 대한 오차도 PART에 의한 방법이 더 작음을 알 수 있었다.
